:re Chapter 52

Suspended over the skyscraper, Haise listens as Kanae tells him to leave Shuu with a happy memory before dying. The moment sends Haise into a vision of Kishou Arima, who once told him, when he could no longer stand, to kill as Arima himself did and asked if he wished to die all over again. Haise kicks Kanae's head loose and snaps back to himself, insisting that his body is his own. As Kanae works to reattach his head, Haise presses the attack, turning aside every strike and finally spearing him through the chest.

As this unfolds, Kanae relives the CCG's raid on his home. His father held off the investigators and sent the rest of the family fleeing, but during the escape his mother collapsed and his brothers gave their lives so she might survive against a merciless assault. Reaching the main family as the sole survivor, he took the name Kanae, formed from the first letters of each relative, and lived as a boy to fill the roles of his two lost brothers. He recalls sparring with Matsumae, doubling over in pain and brushing off her worry as something that always happened, and a later talk with Shuu about training, when it emerges that every servant had known he was a girl and only Shuu remained unaware. Remembering his torment, Kanae confesses that all he ever wanted was to be loved.

After hurling Kanae into a wall, Haise advances on him as Shuu struggles to restrain him. Just as Haise stands over the fallen Kanae, Eto arrives and strikes him from behind.

Haise, guided by a vision of Arima, reclaims control of his body and impales Kanae. Flashbacks reveal Kanae's true identity as Karren von Rosewald, the lone survivor of a CCG raid who took a new name and lived as a man. Eto ambushes Haise from behind as he closes in on Kanae.

The chapter is titled Eve, written イヴ and romanized Ivu. Placed beside Re, the title spells reeve, a possible nod to Eto's standing in Aogiri Tree, since a reeve can mean a high official who serves the crown, which in her case points to the One-Eyed King. It ran in issue 2015-50 of Weekly Young Jump and appears in the fifth volume of Tokyo Ghoul:re.
